More than ten years ago.

The old town area of ​​Jiangcheng City.

The houses here are still mainly red brick buildings.

Inside a makeshift house built against the wall of an old residential area.

A middle-aged man in tattered clothes was carefully sorting through the cardboard boxes, bottles, and other recyclable waste he had collected during the day.

"Uncle Qi."

Hearing someone call him, Qi Fang put down what he was holding, quickly picked up a slightly blackened towel from the shelf next to him, and wiped his hands.

He turned to look at Su Chen and Su Xiaoyu, and subconsciously put his hands, which were far from clean, behind his back.

A slightly awkward smile appeared on his face.

"Hehe, Xiao Chen, Xiao Yu, you're here."

Su Chen looked at the middle-aged man in front of him.

I feel a little down.

Having experienced the hardships of life and the sculpting of time, this man, who is not yet forty, has deep wrinkles around his eyes and on his forehead, and his hair is almost completely white.

But his eyes revealed a gentleness that gave people a sense of warmth and comfort.

"Uncle Qi, why are you picking up these things again? Didn't Brother Su Chen tell you that we don't need the money?"

Su Xiaoyu was still as straightforward as before. Looking at Qi Fang's dirty appearance, she couldn't help but complain.

"Old Qi, how many times have I told you, stop collecting scrap metal!"

"Do you know how many harmful substances are in those things? Your body won't be able to handle it sooner or later!"

Seeing this scene stirred up unpleasant memories of Su Chen's past life.

He walked straight up to Qi Fang in anger, intending to throw all the junk away.

"Xiao Chen, I, I'm fine."

Seeing this, Qi Fang, despite his limp, tried to stop him, but Su Chen ignored him.

...

actually.

These are the years since Su Chen was reborn.

He's always trying to find ways to make money.

However, because I am still too young and have no capital at all, I cannot use my foresight to improve my life in a short period of time.

However, in the past month, he was admitted to Jiangcheng No.1 Middle School thanks to his excellent academic performance.

He received a scholarship that was quite substantial.

This money finally gave Su Chen the start-up capital to start his business.

So he set up a stall and started a small business on the nearby night market street.

Because they knew Qi Fang's future fate.

Su Chen kept advising him not to collect garbage to sell for money anymore.

But he just couldn't stay idle; he wanted to do what he could for the children in the orphanage.

Because Qi Fang also knew.

Over the years, the orphanage has been operating at a loss.

It barely manages to stay afloat thanks to the savings of the dean's grandmother and the donations from kind-hearted people.

If they don't find a way to make money, Su Chen and his friends are very likely to lose this "home" again.

So he didn't listen to Su Chen, but instead secretly went to collect scrap metal and sell it for money.

Thinking that I could earn a little bit to help these orphans, I decided to do so.

Now that Su Chen and the others came to find him so late and discovered that he had been secretly collecting recyclables, he felt a little embarrassed.

While tidying up, Su Chen "scolded" Qi Fang.

But his eyes were already wet with tears.

Even at this point in time.

Su Chen hasn't lived with Qi Fang yet, but he already considers him his father.

Looking at his adoptive father from his previous life, he said helplessly, "Old Qi, you really don't need to do these things anymore."

After Su Chen finished speaking, he took out a wad of cash from his pocket.

“Look.”

When Qi Fang saw the thick wad of money in Su Chen's hand, his eyes widened in disbelief.

"Xiao Chen, where did you get all this money?"

"Didn't I tell you? This is the money I earned by setting up a stall on that night market street in the east, using my scholarship money as capital."

Qi Fang took the money Su Chen handed him and counted it carefully, marveling at his achievement.

"How much is this? How did you come up with this idea? This is so much money, it must be over a thousand yuan!"

Afterwards, Su Chen told him about her stall business.

After listening, Qi Fang nodded repeatedly.

He never imagined that a child could have a better business sense than these adults.

"Old Qi, I'm here today to discuss something with you. I'd like to hand over the stall business to you, what do you think?"

"Give it to me? No, that won't do. This business is so profitable. If you hand it over to me, you won't make any money yourself."

"This won't do, this absolutely won't do!"

After listening to Su Chen's words, Qi Fang waved his hand in refusal before even understanding the situation.

He thought for a moment and continued to persuade her, "Xiao Chen, you are still in school and it's a time when you need money. You should leave this kind of money-making business to yourself."

“I’m all alone, I don’t have a wife or children to support, and the welfare I receive is enough for me to live on.”

Seeing Qi Fang like this, Su Chen smiled with satisfaction and said:

"Old Qi, let me finish what I have to say. I mean, if I ask you to help me set up a stall to make money, you have to give me all of this money. I need to use this money to continue my business."

"Moreover, Xiaoyu and I both have to go to school during the day and set up a stall at night. If this continues, we will fall behind in our studies."

Su Chen said this because she didn't want Qi Fang to worry.

Even if Su Chen gave him the money, he wouldn't accept it.

But as long as it can change Qi Fang's life experience in his previous life.

Then, try to spend some of that money on Qi Fang to improve his quality of life.
